PREFACE. 



These studies were first prepared three years ago, and 
have proven an excellent means of imparting the facts of 
history and stimulating students to further reading. An 
effort has been made to adapt them to the needs of both 
elementary and advanced classes. Several books have been 
added to the bibliography, and among these four of the 
most recent text-books on the subject. Suggestions for 
map work, and over five hundred questions, selected from 
the Regents' examination papers of New York and the en- 
trance examinations of the leading colleges and universities 
have also been included. The latter will, it is hoped, assist 
in preparing the student for such examinations, and furnish 
material for quizzes and for written work in the class. They 
also give the student a clue to the sort of information he 
should bring to the recitation, after a careful study of the 
topics. This book is not designed to take the place of the 
text-book, but to supplement it and enable the student to 
select and assimilate the essential facts of English history. 
Experience has shown the need of some such device, espec- 
ially in view of the crowded condition of the secondary cur- 
riculum.
